WINE DESCRIPTION
Only small quantities of this dry elixir are sold; the rest remains in the winery's archive. Aged in a 300-liter cask, colloquially called a "Viertelstück." The classic herbal-spicy nose is accompanied by subtle floral notes, highly aromatic and clear, a delicate hint of lemon zest. The palate reveals an exceptionally fine start, abundant citrus, fantastic acidity, elegant precision, and a delightful mouthfeel. Recognizable blindfolded as Nahe and Dönnhoff due to its finesse and elegance. Finishing with a seemingly light dustiness, lemon, flint, and a brilliant aftertaste. Bursting with energy, floating yet incredibly taut and mineral. Homogeneous in its immensely delicate minerality, it builds a beam that rises like a vault, reaching its peak in the second third, then slowly tapering off. Completely different from the other GGs from Dönnhoff tasted afterward. This wine exudes an excitement that lingers in the mind. Greatness achieved through absolute reduction to the essentials.
